Extras: Xu Family Rules Horror (Part 2)

Xu Xi was convinced that this newly appeared Magic Tool Book was the second collection item he was looking for.

The reason was simple.

It also had an invisible existence attached to it.

"I am Sevia, your most loyal and reliable guardian knight, and also your wife!"

Ignoring the lively voice coming from beside his ear.

Xu Xi remained expressionless.

Returning to the initial bedroom, he opened the Collection Cabinet door and placed the Magic Tool Book inside.

A magical scene occurred; the sugar jar that had been lying quietly in the first slot actually began to interact "friendlily" with the Magic Tool Book, initiating ultra-high-speed spatial transfer.

Xu Xi: "…What kind of Materials is this cabinet made of to be so durable?"

He observed carefully for a while.

After confirming that the Collection Cabinet had no abnormalities.

Xu Xi turned and left.

His back was still occupied by his sister, who was lying prone on it. With a seemingly casual cold snort, he scared Sevia back to another position.

She did not dare to fight for the golden position on his back at all.

Of course, this could also be the wife yielding to her sister-in-law.

"Lord Wizard, next please proceed to the kitchen; there are clues to two collection items there."

"Finally, you need to go to the outer Courtyard to battle the evil Demonic Cult Leader Wu Yingxue and retrieve the fifth stolen collection item."

Sevia acted as the novice guide.

Guiding the way in Xu Xi's ear with a cheerful tone.

"Alright, I understand."

Xu Xi nodded.

He strode forward, his expression vigilant, exploring this mysterious Courtyard at a slightly slow pace.

He would stop and observe from time to time.

To avoid monsters emerging from the ceiling or dark corners.

"I am just an ordinary investigator without such powerful strength; for safety's sake, it is better to be careful," Xu Xi said, lowering his body and moving along the wall.

After avoiding a few twisted monsters, he successfully entered the kitchen area.

[You have entered a special area; new rules are being revealed to you]

[Kitchen limited rules]

[Rule 1: There are two chefs in the kitchen. Please do not misremember their names, Klisa Christina and Ele. Misremembering or forgetting will trigger unknown disasters]

[Rule 2: You have known Klisa Christina for a longer time; this is an absolute fact]

[Rule 3: You must eat here]

[Rule 4: This place does not welcome anyone other than you]

"Bang!!"

Just as the rules appeared.

Xu Xi heard two muffled sounds.

The sister and Sevia, who were originally huddled on him, were repelled by an invisible force, driven away to who knows where, the distance growing further and further.

Faintly, one could still hear sounds of protest.

"This is unfair!"

"We are not outsiders!"

"…"

The voices quickly disappeared.

Xu Xi composed himself and focused his attention inside the kitchen. Apart from the basic pots, bowls, and ladles, the most eye-catching thing was a rectangular dining table.

On it were placed two portions of food with distinctly different styles.

"Are these prepared for me?"

Xu Xi recalled the previous rules, understood in his heart, and cautiously sat on the dining chair.

"Is it just eating to clear the level? No, it shouldn't be that simple."

He smelled the aroma of the food; it was fine.

He looked at the arrangement of the dining table; it was also fine.

The food on the left was a combination of smoked ham and mashed potatoes, labeled with [Klisa Christina].

The food on the right was a steaming, thick soup with rippling, shimmering golden light, labeled with [Ele].

"Time, eating, chefs…"

"Could it be that the real test is in the choice of food, and I must eat in a specific order?"

Xu Xi suddenly realized.

He picked up the neatly arranged tableware on the table and reached for Klisa's portion.

After all, the rules said he had known Klisa for a longer time, so it was logical that he should taste Klisa's food first.

"No!"

"How insidious of Klisa and Ele!"

Just as the food was about to enter his mouth, Xu Xi suddenly remembered that in the bedroom's Collection Cabinet, the collection items would freely change their order.

In other words.

In this Courtyard, the order was not fixed; all previous information was misleading.

"That was close," Xu Xi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He hesitated and wavered, finally choosing to trust his intuition.

Eat both at the same time.

He bet correctly.

The moment the food entered his mouth, a soaring golden light overflowed from the dining table, flying out a Magic Wand and a metal nameplate, along with two voices.

"Mentor, it is time to defeat the evil brute…"

"Master, Ele has prepared a level 999 enhanced divine outfit for you."

Awesome.

Xu Xi let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that victory was right before his eyes.

"Everyone, be quiet; we are about to clear the level," as the kitchen dungeon was cleared, his sister and the hero returned, and four invisible Souls were fighting for positions on Xu Xi's body.

Someone wanted to lie on his back.

Someone wanted to huddle in his arms.

Xu Xi had to speak up to dissuade them before they quieted down.

Returning to the bedroom, he placed the third and fourth collection items into the Collection Cabinet. Looking at the last empty slot, Xu Xi resolutely stepped into the outside sunlight.

The sky changed.

Dark clouds spread.

The bright and beautiful sunlight was devoured bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Leaving only an endless blood-colored vortex, wrapping around Xu Xi's body.

"Husband—"

Between heaven and earth, a cold voice sounded from far to near: "You have finally come; now, let the battle of destiny begin—"

Black hair danced wildly, sleeves billowed.

Electric snakes slithered, grass and trees chirped in unison.

A woman in red attacked with a spear, every step making heaven and earth shake, approaching Xu Xi in an instant.

Time and space were being stripped away.

The myriad manifestations of fate were being twisted.

Just as Xu Xi was secretly marveling at the sufficient special effects, Wu Yingxue grabbed his wrist, her eyes bright as if there were flames: "Watch my elopement technique!"

With a swish, Wu Yingxue and Xu Xi disappeared at the same time.
